Jeff Dunham is back in his much anticipated third live DVD, with all new material and unparalleled comedy that surpasses his record-breaking specials, Arguing with Myself, Spark of Insanity, and A Very Special Christmas Special. All the favorites are here Walter, the grumpy retiree; furry and manic Peanut; José Jalapeño, the spicy pepper from south of the border; plus bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Dunham is also joined by two never-before-seen characters certain to unleash their own unique havoc on stage. Dunham is an international phenomenon with sold-out stadium-sized concerts, half a billion YouTube views, and television shows that remain among the highest rated in Comedy Central history. Time Magazine calls him the most popular comedian in the U.S. USA Today says simply, Spectacular. 'Controlled Chaos' is guaranteed to deliver an unequaled number of laughs-per-minute - whether you re a Dunham Maniac, or seeing him and his partners for the very first time. Extras include Bubba J Winery Tour, Out-takes, The Necklace, Share the Hair, Flirting with Victoria, Tour Opens, Dunham Goes Global, Photo Shoot, Making Of The Achmedmobile.

Jeff should market this as a workout DVD.My Dad and I were laughing so much we must've lost 5 pounds each.With Walter, Peanut, José Jalapeño, and the legend Achmed, you really can't go wrong with this DVD.

The dvd is excellent. Jeff Dunham is an excellent ventriloquist and comedian. His interaction with the puppets make you believe they are real. I laughed my way through this dvd an enjoyable watch and I'll watch it again.

Having seen all of Jeff's previous work, and given the fact that my partner is a fan, to say that I enjoy Jeff's irreverent, sometimes borderline controversial humour would be a little understated.

Controlled Chaos is Jeff's most recent outing and I am sad to say that it is not his best, in fact, not even close to his previous work.

Its starts with his usual stand-up set piece which in all honesty is not his true calling. Perhaps as an English viewer I find his humour in this part a little, "American"; in that it's quite obvious and literal. On this DVD the opening charts his life as a ventriloquist, and I must say, although a little history of a person you like is usually enjoyable, this came across as a bit sad really; it made the larger than life ventriloquist seem all too real (typical suburban American middle class kid) It also didn't add anything to the act; it.didn't lead you in.

His performance then moves on at it's usual pace through the characters he uses. But for me he had lost his energy, he seemed drained of inspiration. I felt that many of the sections were strung out and didn't really offer much new material. Indeed, many of the jokes were recycled and slightly reworded. Maybe this was due to his marriage breaking down which he mentions in the beginning , maybe it was recorded on a bad night, who knows.... But it wasn't the Jeff Dunham I remember from earlier DVD releases.

All this is a great shame as Jeff still remains the best ventriloquist I have seen. And he is a true doctor of his art, and this comes out now and again as he can still wow the audience with vocal gymnastics and brilliant humour. Sadly these moments are few and far between in Controlled Chaos and it doesn't flow.Read more ›

Just a quick review to say that this DVD is very funny indeed. It does start out a little slow but the good stuff does follow after approximately ten minutes of introduction.

Just a quick warning to the delicate people: there are plenty of semi-racist stereotype remarks about all (ALL) cultures. If you're of a pathetic (humourless) disposition then I would advise you stay away. Otherwise this is an absolutely hilarious standup routine, especially the Achmed The Dead Terrorist section!!

If you're a long term fan of jeff and his puppets like me, then you will have seen the other shows he's done and have some good idea of the type of humour he has.

Unfortuently this dvd lets him down a little bit, alot of the puppets sound the same and the jokes are pretty bland or a new twist on old material that just doesn't quite snap. Which is sad, but this dvd does show that he's very clever in what he does. Various things that he does in the show, does make me sit back and think 'wow...that was pretty awesome!'

So if you're interested in ventriloquism, then this dvd would be of interest to you and there's some real inspiring things he does in it.

There's alot of bonus material too, most of it is quite funny, but again - the same mistakes show up like in the show.
